5.00This is good tour for the overall quick view of Zurich. The bus tour was narrated by a tour guide and unfortunately at times, due to hearing issues and accent, it was difficult to understand. The ferry ride was a short pleasant trip across the water and you could get off the bus to see the views. The cable car presented some great views but was very crowded and made it difficult fir some to see out. From the cable car to the restaurant, was suppose to be a 5 minute walk. Be aware this walk is down and up some very steep terrain. I am and older adult with some breathing issues and the walk was a little challenging. The food and service at the restaurant was great and the time allowed was sufficient for a quick beer and dessert! The view was spectacular.
